What's Trump been up to during the shutdown?
Shoveling $40 billion to bail out Argentina, asking DOJ to pay him $230 million, and demolishing the East Wing to build a $300 million gold-plated ballroom.
But he won't lift a finger to stop premiums from more than doubling.

The president should be meeting with congressional leaders on both sides every single day until government is open.
Instead, Trump is in Asia pining to meet dictator Kim Jong Un and he's focused on building himself a $300 million ballroom.
It is painfully clear Republicans are not listening to folks back home.
What families nationwide are saying is: "Please stop my premiums from doubling."
And what are Republican leaders saying? "Not our problem, we never wanted to lower health care costs in the first place."
Trump has single-handedly raised taxes more than any president in my lifetime.
He has imposed, without any approval from Congress, billions of dollars in new tariffs—all paid for by the American people.
House Republicans talking health care during their six-week-long paid vacation:
I happen to believe that your elected officials should vote to reopen government AND keep your premiums from more than doubling.
Government should be open and Americans shouldn't go bankrupt to afford health care.
The President is refusing to spend a cent of emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits from running dry, but he did move heaven and earth to send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.
Rep. Newhouse and his House colleagues have not been in session and voting for WEEKS now—it’s an absurd abdication of their responsibility to the American people.
Get back to work. Negotiate, reopen government, and save the ACA tax credits.
More miserable lies won’t change the facts: federal law ALREADY prohibits any undocumented immigrant from receiving Medicaid, Medicare, or coverage under the ACA.
Trump is NOT a doctor and no one should be taking medical advice from a man who once told people to inject bleach.
Talk to your doctor and listen to the experts—not conspiracy theorist quacks like Trump and RFK Jr.
President Trump—the man who passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history—is CHOOSING to let families go hungry.
He is outright refusing to use an emergency fund to pay SNAP benefits, even though USDA said they would just last month!
Trump needs to keep SNAP running.
The government has been shut down for 27 days.
Families are already seeing their premiums skyrocket for next year.
This is a crisis and NEVER in my time in office have I seen a president who won't even TALK to the other side about a solution. This is absurd.
There are NO KINGS in America—our Constitution is very clear that no president can serve more than 2 terms.
This is the LAW, not a suggestion and no wannabe dictator can change that.
Republican leaders have shut down the government rather than work with Democrats to fix the health care crisis.
WATCH for a rundown on what's happening and why ⬇️
Democrats have been pleading—for weeks!—with Republicans to work with us to fund the government and save people from exploding health care costs.
Democrats want to help people, while this president and Republican leaders want to ignore them.
I have never in my entire career seen a President so unwilling to even TALK to Democrats about how to solve problems for the American people.
This is the most corrupt President in American history and EVERYONE should be outraged.
Health care premiums are already skyrocketing for millions of Americans—& don't just take it from me, take it from the comment section.
These are real people that need Congress to fight for them. Dems are ready to lower health care costs—are Republicans?
Bailing out Argentina.
Trade wars against our allies.
Private jets for Kristi Noem.
Bulldozing the White House for his fancy ballroom.
President Trump is focused on ANYTHING but reopening the government and preventing premiums from imploding.
People across WA state can visit Washington Health Plan Finder and see exactly how much their health care premiums will cost next year.
If your increase is making coverage unaffordable, Democrats need you to speak out. We can't let Republicans ignore this crisis.

Democrats have been pushing Republicans to save health care tax credits for months.
They spent the summer passing tax breaks for billionaires and STILL refuse to prevent your health care premiums from exploding.
